Car maintenance is one of the factors that is considered most by those who are in the market for a new vehicle. It is a big part of car ownership to keep a vehicle running in the long run. That is why Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) wants to share its guides regarding the preventive maintenance service (PMS) of its models.
HCPI presents its PMS guide
The Japanese marque boasts its PMS as it is relatively affordable as compared to other car brands. Also, the service only requires its customers to visit Honda dealerships twice a year, which is more convenient as opposed to some car brands that require a quarterly visit.
With that being said, here is the PMS guide rolled out by HCPI. To note, the following schedules and parts are based on the prescribed service routines for the Honda City CVT.

For PMS running up to five years, owners of the Honda City CVT are only expected to pay around Php 84,885. This price will increase after five years as more parts should be replaced. If owners are unlucky, they will also have to prepare for repair costs which vary depending on the damage. HCPI is allowing everyone to see the estimated costs of running a Honda on its ‘Car Maintenance’ section available on its official website.
